IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION - To prevent electric shock do not use these devices with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades
can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
1. Read carefully these safety instructions. Keep it for future reference. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions.
2. For your personal safety, please remove (switch off) power to all electrical appliances before you begin installation of this
system.
3. Do not use this apparatus near water - This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
4. Keep the apparatus clean & dry. Clean only with dry cloth.
5. Do not block any ventilation openings. The apparatus should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may
block the ventilation openings.
6. The apparatus must not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a closed bookcase or cabinet that may restrict the flow
of air through the ventilation openings. Do not cover the openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains,
etc. because this may cause restriction of ventilation.
7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
8. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cords from being walked on or pinched - particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Do not install in an area, which impedes the access to the power plug. Disconnecting the power plug is the only way to
completely remove power to the product and must be readily accessible at all times.
12. Power source - Use only power supplies of the type specified in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. If
a separate power supply is included with this apparatus, do not substitute with any other power supply - use only
manufacturer-provided power supplies.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Do not attempt to open the utility seals on your circuit breaker panel.
15. When working with circuit breaker panel, please use extra pre-caution by removing power (switching off) the main switch.
16. Do not touch any live wires. It is very dangerous.
17. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
